Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that Manchester City are expected to make a new attempt to sign Slovakian international centre-back Milan Skriniar this summer, even in the event of a Champions League exclusion.
Pep Guardiola may well be looking to improve as his defence that has been a problem this season conceding 31 goals in 28 Premier League games to date, compared to just 23 conceded in the whole of last season
According to Calciomercato, Manchester City are expected to make an attempt to sign €70-80m rated centre-back Milan Skriniar in the summer even in the event of Champions League exclusion.
However, while it’s reiterated that Skriniar is seen as a crucial piece for Inter moving forward, it’s also suggested that a staggering offer of between €70m and €80m would be needed to have any chance of prising him away, a fee that is said to likely put even Man City off and force them to look elsewhere.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by Man City Xtra and City Chief, Manchester City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions with many excited as they believe he will be perfect with Laporte. Here is what some had to say on Twitter
This is the man I want I love koulibaly busy think hes a little too old we need the youth and i feel this lad has so much to grow with laporte stones and Garcia

Given the solidity and composure that Skriniar provides at the back, there is no doubt he will be a very good addition to the team. However, it could take €70m+ to even get Inter’s attention and test their resolve with no guarantee it will be enough to convince them to sell.
